I obtained my medical degree from McGill University and completed my pediatric residency and pediatric emergency fellowship at the Montreal Children’s Hospital. I started using POCUS early in my PEM training and see it as a tool that will shape my practice, clinically and academically. I believe it makes me more efficient in my day-to-day work and provides opportunities to go teaching and conduct clinical research.

"In this study, decreased morbidity and calculated cost savings were very promising."
